Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"This is the problem we are currently tackling."

"Your father, the esteemed Noah, has only one request for us, which is to restore the complete manufacturing technology of the Giant God Weapon."

Terramus understood why these goblins were so cocky, but after hearing that they hadn't restored the complete technology, the Holy Dragon's Son wasn't polite anymore,

"Can't move? Isn't that just a huge humanoid heap of scrap metal?"

Terramus' words were like cold water dropping into a boiling oil pot, instantly causing a splash. The emotions of several goblin engineers became intensely excited in an instant,

"How can you say that?"

"How can this be scrap metal?"

"We just haven't completed the assembly yet!"

"You simply don't understand Giant God Weapons; you don't even know what mechanical engineering is."

"That's right, you understand nothing, you're not qualified to comment."

Seeing these goblins in front of him, who were already hopping mad and loudly arguing back at him, Terramus found it amusing. He lightly flicked his tail, then skillfully released Dragon Power, using brute force to silence the goblins, and then pointed down with his Dragon Claw,

"I indeed do not understand the mechanical engineering you talk about, but I can identify that some parts on this Giant God Weapon are at least three hundred years old.

That is to say, you've been building it for at least as long as these parts have existed, and the fact that it's still incomplete shows that you lack the ability or the technical resources to finish the Giant God Weapon."

With a confident look, Terramus' words made the previously furious goblin engineers, under the pressure of Dragon Power, suddenly look deflated, sitting on the ground with the proper demeanor of being suppressed by Dragon Power.

After seeing those goblins look so disheveled, Terramus retracted his Dragon Power. The goblin engineers hurriedly got up from the ground,

"My father provides resources for you to help perfect the Giant God Weapon. I think I, as the Holy Dragon's Son, should have the right to participate."

"But you don't understand mechanical engineering at all..."

"I can learn; if you goblins can master this knowledge, why can't I?"

"But you are a Dragon, and even if you master the knowledge of machinery and engineering, once in practical application, can you tolerate the grime and oil?"

"I don't want to repeat myself, the things you can do, I certainly can achieve too."

Under the Dragon Fairy's dumbfounded gaze, the esteemed Holy Dragon's Son resolutely chose to live alongside a group of goblins, without even giving her a chance to advise against it.

"Your Highness, why do you choose to be here?"

After seeing that Terramus and several goblin engineers had completed the schedule for learning mechanical engineering, the Dragon Fairy couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked,

"This is a dark place even the sun doesn't shine upon, completely led by goblins, so even as you are, you can't excessively blame or force goblins to do anything. Living with them day and night really damages your noble status."

"But this is a Giant God Weapon!"

For the Dragon Fairy's advice or rather interference, Terramus didn't listen to a word, he only raised his head, staring intently at the Giant God standing in the steel forging world.

"But the Giant God Weapon manufacturing technology mastered by this group of goblins is not complete, and wanting to make a real Giant God Weapon is something far away, no need for you to waste time here."

"This is not wasting time, it's just that the technology the goblins have is incomplete, but we can supplement it with our methods to create a Giant God Weapon belonging to the Dragon Clan."

The more Terramus looked at the Giant God Weapon, the more pleasing it was to his eyes. Because in his eyes, this giant of steel was a dormant corpse, just waiting for him to inject a soul to move once again.

Moreover, his current goal wasn't to create a genuine Giant God Weapon but to replace the iron bodies of his Shadow Guards, disguising their undead nature.

He could simplify the design of the Giant God Weapon based on the goblins' existing technology. The research of this group of goblins precisely hit the mark for part of his needs.

"You actually have such great aspirations!"

The Dragon Fairy was amazed at the goal Terramus set,

"However, according to my duty, I will report all this to Noah."

"No problem, go ahead and report!"

Terramus casually waved his Dragon Claw.

"Let him be, as long as he's happy!"

Regarding his offspring choosing to constantly mingle with goblins, Noah naturally had no objections, even feeling quite gratified.

Because this kid didn't look down on the knowledge held by goblins due to their racial status; he was willing to lower himself and learn from them, which was truly rare for the Dragon Species.

For this reason, Noah slightly tilted some of the resources in his territory towards the Giant God Workshop led by goblins, not only increasing the annual budget but also prioritizing vibrant young spellcasters there.

After all, it's his own child, how could he not care? Under Noah's resource tilt, Terramus soon found metal materials capable of harboring Soul Fire.

However, a single metal material wasn't stable enough, especially facing a complex and variable battlefield environment. He needed to add other materials to this metal to forge a special alloy meeting the Undead Legion's requirements.

"How is this child lacking? Isn't this research talent first-rate too?"

Always paying attention to his offspring's research progress, Noah could obtain the most detailed first-hand reports. Terramus had no intention of hiding it from his old father, only needing to hide it from those around him.

Therefore, Noah held a very high evaluation of Terramus, not at all showing a lack of foundational knowledge compared to many human scholars sent to the Giant God Workshop. He possessed an unusual talent for research and an enviable research intuition. The paths he chose were often the right ones.

"My Terramus is clearly a genius!"

Rumble~

Just as Noah overturned the evaluation of his own child given by his foster mother, above Mage City, space suddenly distorted, then was torn apart by a mighty force, revealing a barefooted maiden, her hair disheveled and holding a scepter, descending from the sky.

"I'm back!"

The maiden's figure lingered over Mage City for just a moment before disappearing, unnoticed by the strong below in Elisium City. When she reappeared, she was already in Noah's bedchamber,

"I'm exhausted!"

"How did the investigation go? Interested in partnering with me?"

Noah looked toward this Legendary Mage enveloped in numerous elemental auras, feeling as if the Magic Goddess had descended. The tumultuous elements around her clearly indicated what she had just experienced.

"I'm certainly interested, but we need to properly discuss profit-sharing; I didn't just go on an inspection trip."

"You had a bout with those two Beastmen?"

Noah could only discern that this Legendary Mage had recently engaged in high-intensity combat, but whom she faced he couldn't tell.

"Met with the Northwest Hammer King."

Selena snorted softly.

"Northwest Hammer King? What was the outcome?"

Noah's expression was subtle for a moment, but he soon understood who the so-called Hammer King referred to.

"That Hammer King will need to heal for at least twenty years, so if you don't increase the stake, I will need at least sixty percent of the profits."

"Did you use the Great Summoning Technique?"

Noah believed in his foster mother's ability, even if she faced a Demigod. Even if she was outmatched, she could negotiate and withdraw, but severely injuring a Demigod clearly exceeded her limits.

"Uh-huh, so what? If you're not convinced, you can follow my lead!"

"Can't learn it!"
